Hello everyone,
I have the Sapphire Theatrix capture card. I think most of you have heard of it before. I am wanting to use the composite connections from my vcr to my capture card to be able to record several videos to hd to make a dvd from. I have tried many different programs, but they seem to have severe limitations. Powercinema which comes with the Sapphire has the ability to capture composite, but has a 2 gig limitation on recordings. So when i have attempted to record even a one hour vid in good quality resolution, the 2 gig limit is exceeded and it records in two files. Though not insurmountable, it is very inconvenient to merge the two files. I have tried WinAvi-capture, but I cannot get any sound from it at all. Nice picture, no sound. Does anyone have any suggestion as to a vid capture program that would work with this particular card?

Thanks in advance for any help that you can give...

Hi

I'm sitting with a friend by whom I have installed the o2grabber and defined the XML file. The TV guide works perfect now. However, the live TV doesn't work now. We only see a short flash of the tv program. After the screen is black, but the sound is there. Please help!

Instead of the standard MPEG2 recording, is it possible to record to MPEG4 using GBPVR? I am using a Hauppauge-PVR150. I am not sure if the encoding is based on hardware on the card, or whether you can specify a seperate software encoder from GBPVR.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. can you tell i bought a 60GB iPod video??

Hi,
Has anybody tried the FM Radio with Hauppauge 500 MCE.
I got a kind of "double sound" if I configure GB-PVR with both TV receivers on the card.
It sounds OK if I configure with one TV-receiver but then again i loos the ability to record an watch TV at the same time.

Would you reccomend 2*Theatrix 550 or 1*PVR-500?
What are the pro's and con's?

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can offer any advice on my next step.

I've got an Epia-M (nehemiah) in a Morex Venus case working with the older Hauppauge Nova-T (909) PCI card to deliver digital live tv via gbpvr.

I'd like to get a remote control set up. I saw in an earlier thread Sub state that the older Nova-T card, when used with the required Technotrend BDA driver, doesn't support the bundled Hauppauge remote, so effectively this is ruled out (unless anyone has managed to set this up successfully?).

Otherwise, would an infra-red receiver that can be mounted in a drive bay work with gbpvr? Example of what I mean below ...

If so can anyone recommend hardware & software for this set up? :o

What's the intended behaviour of GBPVR in timeshift mode when a new program starts?

Here are the scenarios I've experienced.

1. in the transistion it would move right over to the new show deleting the buffer for the previous show

2. in the transition it would pause as if I had pressed pause. It would only continue when I press the blue button.

3. crash - I don't think this one is intended.

Personally, I prefer option one.

As far as I can see getting album art into My Music looks like quite an effort as as far as I can understand it, one has to download album covers fro all your music, - in my case about 500 albums. At present my MP3 collection - which was generally tagged with Musicmatch all has associated album covers - which display automaticallyin other Jukeboxes such as MusicMatch, ITunes and Media Monkey. Is there any easy way of utilising the cover information that is presumeably stored in the tags of my files, so that I can see this cover work in My Music? or do i have to do it the hard way by finding and downloading artwork into each music file???

Hello,
First of all, great software, great help in the forum. I've been recording things via gbpvr for a couple of weeks but finally bought a MVP to remove the need to ensure that the gbpvr window is focussed. (using tv out on my graphics card.) That end all works fine.

The problem I'm getting is now I've purchased a MediaMVP and the best I've managed so far is about 15 minutes of net radio playing (I turned it off then so the only time it didn't hang.)

It very rarely gets beyound the 3 blue blocks. When it does, it connects ok (IP address given via router) but if using the software which came with it it hangs whenever I press a button on the remote control. If I use gbpvr it brings up the menu then crashes.

I've swapped the cable (25m) I was using for a shorter one...now I can't get past 2 blue blocks!

I'm using a netgear DG modem/router to link to the MVP and pc. I've opened a few ports as suggested elsewhere. Firewall is also off on the pc. Any ideas what may be causing this?

The other problem is it's a D3 model. I know this has problems, would this cause the above? If so, is it better to swap with hauppauge or return to where I bought it from? (although won't they just swap out another probable D3 model?)

Thanks for any help,
Rich

Have current set up:

compro videomate 200-t
native drivers and dvr programs installed
WinXP workstation original (not SP1 or 2)
and, of course, gbpvr

Have installed Cyberlink PowerDVD trial for it's muxer, but MuxChecker does not see it. Still reports no muxer.:confused:

Assistance appreciated
